Comcast has had rogue employees change the customers name on the account from Mary Bauer to Super Bitch Bauer and another one from Ricardo Brown to a-hole Brown.

He doesn't HAVE to do anything. He chose to resolve it a certain way. It may actually work, but may cause a pain in the arse for a completely innocent individual. You can at least admit that it's possible that the customer had nothing to do with the issue at hand.

Comcast is the absolute worst. I hate hatred the burns with the power of 1,000 suns for Comcast. Those frickers still owe me money for returned equipment. They said they would send it but haven't.

Maybe this is just semantics, but I never "suggested" that he do something. I simply said that he can
How? It's not a serious question and is silly to assume that people think that Broke deserved to have his email associated with another account. We don't know all the facts on how this all came to be, so it is a legitimate question to ask why Lovana deserves all this trouble.
You are correct, but it's not like his only choice was to go ruin another person's account in hopes that Comcast will do something about it. It's been established that their customer support isn't that bright. What if they just fix everything and leave his email address assigned to the account?
I was more referring to the original cause of the issue.
I agree with you somewhat, but I would cut some slack for people, especially older folks, who don't use email for their cable service, and would cut them some slack.

Sign her up for HBO and gives us that log in info.

Do more! What else can you add on to her account?

quote:She may not necessarily deserve it through her own actions, but when an issue has to cause trouble for someone, it should go to the account owner instead of a 3rd party non-customer. In that respect, Lovana deserves the trouble. I would even argue that she needs the trouble, if only so that Comcast will have yet another pissed off customer. Their poor customer service is the root of the problem, and they should suffer the consequences in the form of unhappy customers and potential former customers. Functioning capitalist markets demand it.
it is a legitimate question to ask why Lovana deserves all this trouble.
quote:That's typical.
You are correct
quote:What were his other choices? Your only alternate suggestion.. no wait, I'm sorry, it wasn't a "suggestion", but anyway.. was that he commit a crime and fix the account info. I mean, he reported the problem 5 times, what else should he have to do?

quote:They may or may not be bright, but it doesn't help that their reps apparently aren't allowed to escalate issues. This is a problem with Comcast as a company.

quote:So you can assume Lavona is old and doesn't use email specifically for her cable service, even though she obviously uses email for Amazon and other things, so she needs to be cut some slack... but we can't assume that she had some motive for inputting the wrong email OR that she is just irresponsible for not keeping her accounts accurate?

After 8 pages I was expecting things to have escalated to an Amazon shopping spree.
It seems like you have access to the rest of her presumably accurate info. Call her, tell her she's a moron and that you have control of her account, and tell her to get her shite together and change it to a correct address. Simple yet gratifying.

Pretty simple, you started knighting for justice for lavonia for some reason and people called you on your bullshite.

It's pretty simple. Spend 30 seconds to forward all mail from comcast to the spam folder and ignore. Done and done.
But of course you're right. Taking much more time to make another person's life more difficult is much more constructive. What the world needs more of is people screwin each other over.

quote:I've already explained several times why this is NOT acceptable. Broke's email is associated with someone else's account! Who knows what Comcast will do with it? Do they sell emails to spammers? I doubt it, but they could. Do they reserve the right to sign customers up for other services using the default email? Will they sell off some accounts to another provider? If so, what will the new provider do with it? Can it be used as evidence? Probably.

Worst case, Comcast fricks something up that results in Broke's email account being locked, and then he loses access to many of his actual accounts.
So, you're right on one point: it's pretty simple. There is an obvious problem. Fix it, don't ignore it.
quote:Like I said before, typical.

Anyway, Lavona NEEDS to feel some pain over this. Both because of her personal inability to maintain her own accounts, and because as a customer she needs to be aware of Comcast's poor customer service. It's the way things should be. Broke is doing the world a favor.
All of this could easily have been avoided. How many sites make you verify your email when you sign up? Pretty much all of them. Comcast is too busy conglomerating to even do basic shite right.

When you make account changes, are you getting verification emails? If so, how are you answering those? Or do you?
